00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.700
tip<00:00:58.060><c> over</c><00:00:58.399><c> into</c><00:00:58.820><c> tomorrow's</c><00:00:59.380><c> session</c>

and<00:01:00.060><c> then</c><00:01:00.299><c> we'll</c><00:01:00.520><c> get</c><00:01:00.759><c> into</c><00:01:01.159><c> the</c><00:01:01.560><c> first</c><00:01:01.799><c> epistle,</c><00:01:02.560><c> God</c><00:01:02.780><c> willing.</c>

00:01:04.459 --> 00:01:07.019
Well,<00:01:04.599><c> perhaps</c><00:01:04.739><c> you'd</c><00:01:04.900><c> just</c><00:01:05.079><c> like</c><00:01:05.219><c> to</c><00:01:05.400><c> come</c><00:01:05.719><c> back</c><00:01:06.019><c> with</c><00:01:06.260><c> me</c><00:01:06.659><c> to</c>

00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:10.879
John<00:01:07.359><c> chapter</c><00:01:07.819><c> 1,</c><00:01:08.579><c> where</c><00:01:08.780><c> we</c><00:01:09.019><c> were</c><00:01:09.480><c> yesterday,</c>

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:15.400
first<00:01:12.200><c> chapter</c><00:01:12.579><c> of</c><00:01:12.799><c> John's</c><00:01:13.280><c> gospel,</c><00:01:14.140><c> where,</c><00:01:14.640><c> as</c><00:01:14.900><c> we</c><00:01:15.079><c> said,</c><00:01:15.260><c> we</c>

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:16.700
are<00:01:15.700><c> introduced</c><00:01:16.280><c> to</c><00:01:16.540><c> Peter.</c>

00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.640
So<00:01:17.019><c> this</c><00:01:17.019><c> is</c><00:01:17.239><c> where</c><00:01:17.379><c> he</c><00:01:17.659><c> appears</c><00:01:18.140><c> chronologically</c><00:01:19.319><c> for</c><00:01:20.340><c> the</c>

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.280
first<00:01:21.140><c> time.</c>

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:28.040
It's<00:01:24.239><c> before</c><00:01:24.579><c> the</c><00:01:24.739><c> public</c><00:01:25.140><c> ministry</c><00:01:25.480><c> of</c><00:01:25.659><c> the</c><00:01:25.819><c> Lord</c><00:01:26.180><c> has</c><00:01:27.099><c> actually</c><00:01:27.760><c> got</c>

underway<00:01:28.599><c> officially.</c>

00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.840
It's<00:01:30.200><c> just</c><00:01:30.359><c> worth</c><00:01:30.579><c> bearing</c><00:01:30.900><c> in</c><00:01:31.200><c> mind</c><00:01:31.599><c> at</c><00:01:32.480><c> this</c><00:01:32.739><c> point,</c><00:01:33.000><c> I</c><00:01:33.219><c> think,</c><00:01:33.599><c> that</c>

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.260
the<00:01:34.819><c> ministry</c><00:01:35.340><c> of</c><00:01:35.519><c> the</c><00:01:35.680><c> Lord</c><00:01:35.840><c> Jesus</c>

00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:41.219
Christ<00:01:36.780><c> begins</c><00:01:37.599><c> in</c><00:01:38.060><c> John</c><00:01:38.359><c> chapter</c><00:01:38.739><c> 2</c><00:01:39.200><c> in</c><00:01:39.540><c> Jerusalem</c><00:01:40.280><c> at</c><00:01:41.000><c> the</c>

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.400
So<00:01:43.060><c> that's</c><00:01:43.299><c> John</c><00:01:43.540><c> chapter</c><00:01:43.840><c> 2</c><00:01:44.140><c> verse</c><00:01:44.379><c> 13</c><00:01:45.000><c> and</c><00:01:45.519><c> on.</c>

00:01:46.459 --> 00:01:51.140
And<00:01:46.739><c> it's</c><00:01:47.019><c> only</c><00:01:47.420><c> John</c><00:01:47.980><c> who</c><00:01:48.280><c> gives</c><00:01:48.519><c> us</c><00:01:48.739><c> an</c><00:01:48.980><c> account</c><00:01:49.400><c> of</c><00:01:49.659><c> the</c><00:01:50.060><c> first</c><00:01:50.500><c> year</c><00:01:50.879><c> of</c>

00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.700
And<00:02:00.019><c> of</c><00:02:00.239><c> course,</c><00:02:00.359><c> if</c><00:02:00.519><c> you</c><00:02:00.560><c> think</c><00:02:00.819><c> about</c><00:02:01.180><c> it,</c><00:02:02.159><c> the</c><00:02:02.840><c> details</c><00:02:03.299><c> we've</c><00:02:03.599><c> got</c>

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:54.520
Now<00:02:50.439><c> the</c><00:02:50.620><c> significance</c><00:02:51.180><c> of</c><00:02:51.479><c> that,</c><00:02:52.560><c> a</c><00:02:52.599><c> little</c><00:02:52.740><c> reminder,</c><00:02:53.360><c> we</c><00:02:53.539><c> shall</c><00:02:53.740><c> see</c><00:02:54.139><c> in</c><00:02:54.340><c> a</c>

00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:24.479

00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:25.719
41.

00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:31.599
We<00:03:26.080><c> know</c><00:03:26.360><c> that</c><00:03:26.960><c> these</c><00:03:27.419><c> two</c><00:03:27.740><c> brothers</c><00:03:28.500><c> came</c><00:03:29.439><c> from</c><00:03:30.099><c> Bethsaida,</c>

00:03:31.900 --> 00:03:33.819

00:03:33.819 --> 00:03:34.319
enough.

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.460
It's<00:03:34.800><c> in</c><00:03:35.000><c> Galilee.</c>

00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.180
So<00:03:36.680><c> that's</c><00:03:37.020><c> their</c><00:03:37.219><c> place</c><00:03:37.439><c> of</c><00:03:37.740><c> origin.</c>

00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.580

00:03:41.620 --> 00:03:44.719
But<00:03:41.740><c> we</c><00:03:41.900><c> also</c><00:03:42.219><c> know</c><00:03:42.400><c> that</c><00:03:42.560><c> during</c><00:03:42.800><c> the</c><00:03:42.979><c> Lord's</c><00:03:43.439><c> ministry,</c><00:03:44.460><c> they</c><00:03:44.520><c> had</c>

00:03:47.699 --> 00:03:50.180
1,<00:03:48.300><c> and</c><00:03:48.620><c> that</c><00:03:48.900><c> probably</c><00:03:49.139><c> means</c><00:03:49.400><c> that</c><00:03:49.580><c> that's</c><00:03:49.780><c> where</c><00:03:49.939><c> they</c>

00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:51.439
actually<00:03:50.599><c> lived.</c>

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.199
So<00:03:52.139><c> we</c><00:03:52.280><c> know</c><00:03:52.479><c> that</c><00:03:52.800><c> much</c><00:03:53.280><c> about</c><00:03:53.819><c> them.</c>

00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:57.539
And<00:03:54.740><c> then</c><00:03:55.080><c> the</c><00:03:55.259><c> Lord</c><00:03:55.479><c> Jesus</c><00:03:55.860><c> Christ</c><00:03:56.199><c> encounters</c><00:03:56.900><c> Peter.</c>

00:03:57.539 --> 00:04:03.520
And<00:03:58.360><c> when</c><00:03:58.719><c> we</c><00:03:58.939><c> come</c><00:03:59.120><c> to</c><00:03:59.319><c> verse</c><00:03:59.800><c> 41,</c><00:04:00.939><c> we</c><00:04:00.979><c> read</c><00:04:01.819><c> that</c><00:04:02.219><c> Andrew</c><00:04:02.659><c> first</c><00:04:03.020><c> findeth</c><00:04:03.419><c> his</c>

00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:22.300
Their<00:05:18.000><c> call</c><00:05:18.379><c> to</c><00:05:18.939><c> discipleship,</c><00:05:20.079><c> if</c><00:05:20.439><c> you</c><00:05:20.680><c> like,</c><00:05:21.040><c> officially,</c>

00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.319
doesn't<00:05:22.579><c> occur</c><00:05:23.139><c> until</c><00:05:23.519><c> the</c><00:05:23.839><c> following</c><00:05:24.199><c> year</c><00:05:24.779><c> in</c>

00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:26.500
Galilee.

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.279
And<00:05:27.019><c> then</c><00:05:27.300><c> later,</c><00:05:28.360><c> they</c><00:05:28.620><c> become</c><00:05:29.060><c> apostles.</c>

00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.480
So<00:05:30.839><c> there</c><00:05:31.000><c> are</c><00:05:31.120><c> three</c><00:05:31.420><c> stages</c><00:05:31.879><c> to</c><00:05:32.180><c> this.</c>

00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:38.160
You<00:05:33.040><c> begin</c><00:05:33.319><c> here</c><00:05:33.600><c> in</c><00:05:33.740><c> John</c><00:05:33.980><c> chapter</c><00:05:34.379><c> 1</c><00:05:35.000><c> with</c><00:05:35.439><c> the</c><00:05:35.779><c> establishment</c><00:05:36.180><c> of</c><00:05:36.500><c> a</c><00:05:36.959><c> relationship</c><00:05:37.519><c> between</c><00:05:37.959><c> the</c>

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:39.060
Lord<00:05:38.339><c> and</c><00:05:38.560><c> these</c><00:05:38.720><c> men.</c>

00:05:39.060 --> 00:05:42.759
Then<00:05:39.399><c> they</c><00:05:39.660><c> become</c><00:05:39.899><c> disciples,</c><00:05:40.860><c> then</c><00:05:41.100><c> they</c><00:05:41.279><c> become</c><00:05:41.579><c> apostles.</c>

00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.819
Now<00:05:43.379><c> just</c><00:05:43.639><c> bearing</c><00:05:43.759><c> that</c><00:05:43.939><c> in</c><00:05:44.139><c> mind,</c><00:05:44.379><c> let's</c><00:05:44.620><c> come</c><00:05:44.920><c> back</c><00:05:45.199><c> to</c><00:05:45.420><c> Matthew's</c><00:05:46.319><c> Gospel,</c><00:05:47.339><c> where</c><00:05:47.540><c> we</c>

00:05:47.819 --> 00:05:48.399

00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.319

00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:57.339
And<00:05:51.860><c> that</c><00:05:52.040><c> brings</c><00:05:52.259><c> us</c><00:05:52.639><c> to</c><00:05:53.199><c> Matthew</c><00:05:53.680><c> chapter</c><00:05:54.120><c> 4</c><00:05:54.899><c> and</c><00:05:55.300><c> verse</c><00:05:55.800><c> 18.</c>

00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:06.339

00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.540
Jesus,<00:06:07.220><c> walking</c><00:06:07.759><c> by</c><00:06:08.180><c> the</c><00:06:08.259><c> sea</c><00:06:08.519><c> of</c><00:06:08.720><c> Galilee,</c><00:06:09.180><c> saw</c><00:06:09.319><c> two</c><00:06:09.620><c> brethren,</c><00:06:10.060><c> Simon</c>

00:06:10.540 --> 00:06:12.060
called<00:06:10.839><c> Peter</c><00:06:11.360><c> and</c><00:06:11.699><c> Andrew</c>

00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:14.480
his<00:06:12.220><c> brother,</c><00:06:12.579><c> casting</c><00:06:12.959><c> a</c><00:06:13.180><c> net</c><00:06:13.279><c> into</c><00:06:13.560><c> the</c><00:06:13.800><c> sea,</c><00:06:14.240><c> for</c><00:06:14.339><c> they</c>

00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.959
were<00:06:14.720><c> fishers.</c>

00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:20.220
And<00:06:16.240><c> he</c><00:06:16.360><c> saith</c><00:06:16.560><c> unto</c><00:06:16.759><c> them,</c><00:06:17.240><c> Follow</c><00:06:17.620><c> me,</c><00:06:18.879><c> that</c><00:06:19.100><c> is,</c><00:06:19.740><c> come</c><00:06:19.879><c> ye</c>

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:22.360
after<00:06:20.620><c> me,</c><00:06:20.879><c> as</c><00:06:21.079><c> the</c><00:06:21.259><c> revised</c><00:06:21.560><c> version</c><00:06:21.980><c> says.</c>

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.220
Literally,<00:06:23.399><c> it's</c><00:06:23.800><c> come</c><00:06:24.040><c> behind.</c>

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:27.259
That's<00:06:25.720><c> what</c><00:06:25.860><c> a</c><00:06:26.040><c> disciple</c><00:06:26.399><c> has</c><00:06:26.660><c> to</c><00:06:26.899><c> do.</c>

00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.920
He<00:06:27.600><c> has</c><00:06:27.800><c> to</c><00:06:28.060><c> come</c><00:06:28.319><c> behind</c><00:06:29.100><c> his</c><00:06:29.399><c> master.</c>

00:06:30.259 --> 00:06:30.980
He<00:06:30.439><c> follows.</c>

00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:35.100
So<00:06:31.860><c> follow</c><00:06:32.360><c> me,</c><00:06:32.899><c> and</c><00:06:33.160><c> I</c><00:06:33.300><c> will</c><00:06:33.519><c> make</c><00:06:33.779><c> you</c><00:06:34.199><c> fishers</c><00:06:34.639><c> of</c><00:06:34.819><c> men.</c>

00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:40.180
And<00:06:35.699><c> straightway,</c><00:06:36.779><c> they</c><00:06:36.980><c> left</c><00:06:37.279><c> their</c><00:06:37.579><c> nets</c><00:06:37.899><c> and</c><00:06:38.680><c> followed</c><00:06:39.240><c> him.</c>

00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:45.019
And<00:06:41.160><c> of</c><00:06:41.300><c> course,</c><00:06:41.399><c> if</c><00:06:41.540><c> you</c><00:06:41.720><c> just</c><00:06:41.939><c> come</c><00:06:42.160><c> to</c><00:06:42.360><c> Matthew</c><00:06:43.060><c> first</c><00:06:43.939><c> off,</c>

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.699
you<00:06:45.300><c> think,</c><00:06:45.540><c> well,</c><00:06:45.680><c> that's</c><00:06:45.980><c> very</c><00:06:46.199><c> strange,</c>

00:06:46.779 --> 00:06:47.860
isn't<00:06:46.939><c> it?</c>

00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:52.339
We<00:06:48.259><c> have</c><00:06:48.459><c> here</c><00:06:48.639><c> a</c><00:06:48.879><c> man,</c><00:06:49.300><c> a</c><00:06:49.620><c> stranger</c><00:06:50.139><c> to</c><00:06:51.100><c> these</c><00:06:51.439><c> disciples,</c><00:06:52.160><c> to</c>

00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:53.399
these<00:06:52.980><c> fishermen.</c>

00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.139
And<00:06:54.040><c> he</c><00:06:54.160><c> says,</c><00:06:54.459><c> follow</c><00:06:54.680><c> me.</c>

00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:57.040
And<00:06:55.519><c> they</c><00:06:55.660><c> just</c><00:06:55.879><c> drop</c><00:06:56.040><c> everything</c><00:06:56.379><c> and</c><00:06:56.600><c> follow</c><00:06:56.839><c> him.</c>

00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:01.560
Well,<00:06:57.439><c> it</c><00:06:57.600><c> doesn't</c><00:06:58.139><c> work</c><00:06:58.459><c> like</c><00:06:58.779><c> that,</c><00:06:59.060><c> does</c><00:06:59.100><c> it,</c><00:06:59.899><c> in</c><00:07:00.180><c> real</c><00:07:00.459><c> life?</c>

00:07:02.019 --> 00:07:05.899
But<00:07:02.279><c> when</c><00:07:02.480><c> we</c><00:07:02.800><c> understand</c><00:07:03.740><c> John</c><00:07:04.220><c> chapter</c><00:07:04.660><c> 1,</c><00:07:05.420><c> that</c><00:07:05.560><c> he</c><00:07:05.699><c> had</c>

00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:08.459
already<00:07:06.259><c> met</c><00:07:06.660><c> them</c><00:07:07.120><c> and</c><00:07:07.480><c> had</c><00:07:07.660><c> already</c><00:07:08.000><c> established</c>

00:07:08.459 --> 00:07:12.079
a<00:07:08.819><c> relationship</c><00:07:09.480><c> with</c><00:07:09.759><c> them,</c><00:07:10.959><c> then</c><00:07:11.160><c> the</c><00:07:11.379><c> words</c><00:07:11.680><c> here</c><00:07:11.860><c> don't</c>

00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.180
seem<00:07:12.339><c> so</c><00:07:12.720><c> strange</c><00:07:12.939><c> at</c><00:07:13.220><c> all.</c>

00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:15.699
No,<00:07:14.379><c> they</c><00:07:14.600><c> already</c><00:07:14.959><c> knew</c><00:07:15.199><c> him.</c>

00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:21.259
And<00:07:16.199><c> so</c><00:07:16.339><c> now</c><00:07:16.560><c> when</c><00:07:16.699><c> he</c><00:07:17.000><c> calls</c><00:07:17.279><c> them</c><00:07:17.500><c> to</c><00:07:17.620><c> be</c><00:07:17.779><c> his</c><00:07:18.100><c> disciples,</c><00:07:19.079><c> they</c><00:07:19.379><c> were</c><00:07:19.680><c> ready</c><00:07:20.139><c> to</c><00:07:20.939><c> follow.</c>

00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:25.160
And<00:07:21.860><c> you</c><00:07:22.040><c> notice</c><00:07:22.420><c> that</c><00:07:22.639><c> he</c><00:07:22.779><c> makes</c><00:07:23.019><c> it</c><00:07:23.399><c> clear</c><00:07:23.860><c> they</c><00:07:24.399><c> had</c><00:07:24.620><c> to</c><00:07:24.800><c> be</c>

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.720
trained<00:07:25.500><c> for</c><00:07:25.740><c> the</c><00:07:25.959><c> work</c><00:07:26.120><c> they</c><00:07:26.319><c> had</c><00:07:26.540><c> to</c><00:07:26.800><c> do.</c>

00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:32.240
He<00:07:28.379><c> says,</c><00:07:29.000><c> follow</c><00:07:29.360><c> me,</c><00:07:29.899><c> and</c><00:07:30.180><c> I</c><00:07:30.540><c> will</c><00:07:30.879><c> make</c><00:07:31.420><c> you.</c>

00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:37.240
So<00:07:33.600><c> there</c><00:07:33.740><c> was</c><00:07:34.180><c> training</c><00:07:34.720><c> to</c><00:07:35.199><c> take</c><00:07:35.459><c> place</c><00:07:35.779><c> here</c><00:07:36.040><c> because</c><00:07:36.540><c> they</c>

00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:38.939
would<00:07:37.420><c> have</c><00:07:37.600><c> to</c><00:07:37.860><c> carry</c><00:07:38.040><c> on</c><00:07:38.279><c> the</c><00:07:38.500><c> work</c>

00:07:38.939 --> 00:07:41.800
after<00:07:39.540><c> the</c><00:07:39.800><c> Lord</c><00:07:40.019><c> had</c><00:07:40.439><c> left</c><00:07:40.879><c> them.</c>

00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.939
So<00:07:42.779><c> they're</c><00:07:43.220><c> called</c><00:07:43.360><c> to</c><00:07:43.560><c> a</c><00:07:43.819><c> relationship.</c>

00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.360
Here,<00:07:45.620><c> they're</c><00:07:46.000><c> called</c><00:07:46.139><c> to</c><00:07:46.319><c> be</c><00:07:46.579><c> disciples.</c>

00:07:47.579 --> 00:07:51.000
And<00:07:47.839><c> then</c><00:07:48.120><c> later,</c><00:07:48.740><c> they're</c><00:07:49.160><c> called</c><00:07:49.300><c> to</c><00:07:49.560><c> be</c><00:07:49.819><c> apostles.</c>

00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:54.839
Now,<00:07:51.759><c> we</c><00:07:51.939><c> took</c><00:07:52.139><c> our</c><00:07:52.399><c> introductory</c><00:07:52.939><c> reading</c><00:07:53.319><c> from</c><00:07:53.519><c> Matthew</c><00:07:53.879><c> chapter</c><00:07:54.240><c> 16</c>

00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.079
because<00:07:55.620><c> this</c><00:07:56.060><c> is</c><00:07:56.319><c> a</c><00:07:56.740><c> passage</c>

00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:01.019
where<00:07:57.360><c> Peter</c><00:07:57.660><c> comes</c><00:07:57.939><c> to</c><00:07:58.139><c> the</c><00:07:58.439><c> fore</c><00:07:58.819><c> as</c><00:07:59.420><c> the</c><00:07:59.699><c> spokesman</c><00:08:00.139><c> of</c><00:08:00.300><c> the</c><00:08:00.459><c> disciples.</c>

00:08:01.019 --> 00:08:04.000
So<00:08:01.420><c> let's</c><00:08:01.720><c> just</c><00:08:01.939><c> come</c><00:08:02.120><c> now</c><00:08:02.339><c> on</c><00:08:02.540><c> to</c><00:08:02.660><c> Matthew</c><00:08:03.100><c> chapter</c><00:08:03.480><c> 16.</c>

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.660
We're<00:08:04.819><c> just</c><00:08:04.819><c> dipping</c><00:08:05.160><c> into</c><00:08:05.500><c> the</c><00:08:05.740><c> gospels</c><00:08:06.259><c> and</c><00:08:06.459><c> also</c><00:08:06.959><c> the</c><00:08:07.319><c> Acts</c>

00:08:07.660 --> 00:08:09.579
just<00:08:07.939><c> to</c><00:08:08.180><c> get</c><00:08:08.379><c> our</c><00:08:09.040><c> background,</c>

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.339
just<00:08:10.060><c> reminding</c><00:08:10.439><c> ourselves</c><00:08:10.899><c> of</c><00:08:11.180><c> things</c><00:08:11.360><c> that</c><00:08:11.779><c> probably</c><00:08:12.100><c> we</c>

00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:13.899
know<00:08:12.500><c> very</c><00:08:12.899><c> well.</c>

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:16.079
So<00:08:14.319><c> we</c><00:08:14.420><c> come</c><00:08:14.540><c> to</c><00:08:14.680><c> Matthew</c><00:08:15.000><c> chapter</c><00:08:15.339><c> 16.</c>

00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.279
And<00:08:16.740><c> here,</c><00:08:17.360><c> the</c><00:08:17.399><c> Lord</c><00:08:17.680><c> and</c><00:08:17.839><c> his</c><00:08:18.120><c> disciples</c><00:08:18.899><c> find</c><00:08:19.740><c> themselves</c>

00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.220
up<00:08:20.579><c> in</c><00:08:21.000><c> Caesarea</c><00:08:21.500><c> Philippi,</c>

00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.319
far<00:08:22.560><c> in</c><00:08:22.779><c> the</c><00:08:22.879><c> north</c><00:08:23.060><c> of</c><00:08:23.240><c> the</c><00:08:23.399><c> land.</c>

00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.480
And<00:08:25.000><c> the</c><00:08:25.139><c> Lord</c><00:08:25.399><c> asks</c><00:08:25.740><c> his</c><00:08:26.000><c> disciples</c><00:08:26.420><c> a</c><00:08:26.680><c> question,</c><00:08:27.079><c> and</c><00:08:27.180><c> it's</c>

00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.480
Peter<00:08:28.040><c> who</c><00:08:28.899><c> answers.</c>

00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:33.000
And<00:08:29.699><c> it's</c><00:08:29.920><c> a</c><00:08:30.040><c> magnificent</c><00:08:30.699><c> answer</c><00:08:31.420><c> that</c><00:08:31.819><c> he</c><00:08:32.059><c> gives.</c>

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.580
Just<00:08:33.740><c> have</c><00:08:33.879><c> a</c><00:08:33.960><c> look</c><00:08:34.120><c> at</c><00:08:34.519><c> Matthew</c><00:08:34.940><c> 16.</c>

00:08:35.779 --> 00:08:37.639
The<00:08:36.100><c> section</c><00:08:36.419><c> begins</c><00:08:36.820><c> at</c><00:08:37.019><c> verse</c><00:08:37.259><c> 13.</c>

00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.879
We've<00:08:37.879><c> already</c><00:08:38.139><c> read</c><00:08:38.340><c> it</c><00:08:39.000><c> where</c><00:08:39.639><c> Jesus</c><00:08:40.019><c> says,</c><00:08:40.539><c> well,</c><00:08:40.620><c> who</c><00:08:40.700><c> do</c>

00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.600
men<00:08:41.039><c> say</c><00:08:41.299><c> that</c><00:08:41.519><c> I</c><00:08:41.659><c> the</c><00:08:41.759><c> son</c><00:08:41.980><c> of</c><00:08:42.159><c> man</c><00:08:42.379><c> am?</c>

00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.460
And<00:08:42.779><c> there</c><00:08:42.899><c> were</c><00:08:43.039><c> various</c><00:08:43.399><c> answers</c><00:08:43.820><c> to</c><00:08:44.120><c> that.</c>

00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:50.159
But<00:08:45.000><c> then</c><00:08:45.200><c> in</c><00:08:45.360><c> verse</c><00:08:45.539><c> 15,</c><00:08:45.940><c> he</c><00:08:46.120><c> says</c><00:08:46.379><c> to</c><00:08:46.580><c> the</c><00:08:46.820><c> disciples,</c><00:08:48.120><c> who</c><00:08:48.120><c> say</c><00:08:48.440><c> ye</c><00:08:48.679><c> that</c><00:08:48.980><c> I</c><00:08:49.200><c> am?</c>

00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:54.879
And<00:08:50.659><c> Simon</c><00:08:50.960><c> Peter</c><00:08:51.320><c> answered</c><00:08:51.740><c> and</c><00:08:52.100><c> said,</c><00:08:52.679><c> thou</c><00:08:52.899><c> art</c><00:08:53.200><c> the</c><00:08:53.559><c> Christ,</c><00:08:54.539><c> the</c>

00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.379
son<00:08:55.240><c> of</c><00:08:55.620><c> the</c><00:08:55.860><c> living</c><00:08:56.259><c> God.</c>

00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:02.399
So<00:08:58.480><c> he</c><00:08:58.779><c> acts</c><00:08:59.139><c> as</c><00:08:59.299><c> a</c><00:08:59.620><c> spokesman</c><00:09:00.259><c> for</c><00:09:00.500><c> the</c><00:09:00.779><c> disciples,</c><00:09:01.639><c> but</c><00:09:02.159><c> he's</c>

00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.299
also<00:09:02.799><c> expressing</c><00:09:03.399><c> his</c><00:09:03.720><c> own</c><00:09:04.039><c> conviction</c>

00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:07.679
in<00:09:06.259><c> answering</c><00:09:06.639><c> Jesus'</c><00:09:07.179><c> question.</c>

00:09:07.779 --> 00:09:10.039
He<00:09:08.120><c> makes</c><00:09:08.500><c> his</c><00:09:08.879><c> confession.</c>

00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:13.379
And<00:09:10.580><c> he's</c><00:09:10.840><c> absolutely</c><00:09:11.259><c> right,</c><00:09:11.700><c> isn't</c><00:09:11.899><c> he,</c><00:09:12.080><c> in</c><00:09:12.139><c> what</c><00:09:12.279><c> he</c><00:09:12.559><c> says?</c>

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.659
Thou<00:09:13.840><c> art</c><00:09:14.120><c> the</c><00:09:14.399><c> Christ,</c><00:09:15.360><c> the</c><00:09:15.659><c> son</c><00:09:16.039><c> of</c><00:09:16.919><c> the</c><00:09:17.120><c> living</c><00:09:17.539><c> God.</c>

00:09:19.100 --> 00:09:25.500
Now,<00:09:19.779><c> just</c><00:09:20.059><c> see</c><00:09:20.259><c> what</c><00:09:20.480><c> Jesus</c><00:09:20.840><c> says</c><00:09:21.419><c> at</c><00:09:21.860><c> verse</c><00:09:23.080><c> 17.</c>

00:09:26.779 --> 00:09:28.019
Verse<00:09:26.960><c> 17.</c>

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:34.220
Blessed<00:09:30.860><c> art</c><00:09:31.200><c> thou,</c><00:09:31.639><c> Simon</c><00:09:31.860><c> Bar</c><00:09:32.179><c>-Jonah,</c><00:09:32.840><c> for</c><00:09:33.100><c> flesh</c><00:09:33.419><c> and</c><00:09:33.679><c> blood</c><00:09:33.980><c> hath</c>

00:09:34.220 --> 00:09:35.799
not<00:09:34.480><c> revealed</c><00:09:34.860><c> it</c><00:09:35.059><c> unto</c><00:09:35.340><c> thee,</c>

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.759
but<00:09:36.179><c> my</c><00:09:36.500><c> Father</c><00:09:36.899><c> which</c><00:09:37.240><c> is</c><00:09:37.480><c> in</c><00:09:37.860><c> heaven.</c>

00:09:39.620 --> 00:09:42.299
Now,<00:09:39.840><c> what</c><00:09:39.980><c> was</c><00:09:40.159><c> the</c><00:09:40.320><c> Lord</c><00:09:40.480><c> saying</c><00:09:40.820><c> to</c><00:09:41.100><c> him</c><00:09:41.259><c> there?</c>

00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:46.240
Flesh<00:09:43.059><c> and</c><00:09:43.320><c> blood</c><00:09:43.580><c> hasn't</c><00:09:43.980><c> revealed</c><00:09:44.340><c> this</c><00:09:44.620><c> to</c><00:09:44.919><c> you,</c><00:09:45.799><c> but</c><00:09:45.940><c> my</c>

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.379
Father<00:09:46.779><c> in</c><00:09:47.419><c> heaven.</c>

00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.620
Well,<00:09:49.720><c> flesh</c><00:09:49.799><c> and</c><00:09:50.100><c> blood</c><00:09:50.299><c> is</c><00:09:50.639><c> what</c><00:09:50.820><c> we're</c><00:09:51.120><c> made</c><00:09:51.440><c> of.</c>

00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:53.740
It's<00:09:51.940><c> our</c><00:09:52.139><c> nature,</c><00:09:52.620><c> isn't</c><00:09:52.779><c> it?</c>

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.279
So<00:09:54.100><c> the</c><00:09:54.200><c> Lord</c><00:09:54.379><c> is</c><00:09:54.659><c> saying</c><00:09:54.779><c> to</c><00:09:55.039><c> Peter</c><00:09:55.500><c> that</c><00:09:56.519><c> the</c><00:09:56.820><c> fact</c><00:09:57.019><c> that</c><00:09:57.179><c> he</c>

00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:02.000
the<00:09:59.600><c> son</c><00:09:59.799><c> of</c><00:09:59.960><c> the</c><00:10:00.059><c> living</c><00:10:00.240><c> God,</c><00:10:00.779><c> had</c><00:10:00.980><c> not</c><00:10:01.200><c> been</c><00:10:01.539><c> revealed</c><00:10:01.860><c> to</c>

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:03.840
him<00:10:02.200><c> by</c><00:10:02.480><c> other</c><00:10:02.779><c> people.</c>

00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:07.519
He<00:10:04.080><c> hadn't</c><00:10:04.340><c> learned</c><00:10:04.720><c> that</c><00:10:04.960><c> from</c><00:10:05.120><c> other</c><00:10:05.379><c> people,</c><00:10:06.419><c> but</c><00:10:06.679><c> he'd</c><00:10:07.059><c> learned</c><00:10:07.279><c> it</c>

00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:08.399
from<00:10:07.879><c> God.</c>

00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.960
And<00:10:09.159><c> this</c><00:10:09.480><c> learning</c><00:10:10.039><c> process</c><00:10:10.580><c> had</c><00:10:10.879><c> taken</c><00:10:11.120><c> place</c><00:10:11.460><c> during</c><00:10:11.700><c> the</c>

00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:13.019
ministry<00:10:12.279><c> of</c><00:10:12.440><c> Jesus.</c>

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.919
Peter<00:10:13.559><c> might</c><00:10:13.820><c> very</c><00:10:14.139><c> well</c><00:10:14.279><c> have</c><00:10:14.500><c> heard</c><00:10:14.740><c> God's</c><00:10:15.220><c> declaration</c><00:10:15.740><c> at</c>

00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:16.799
the<00:10:16.059><c> Lord's</c><00:10:16.419><c> baptism.</c>

00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.879
This<00:10:17.340><c> is</c><00:10:17.580><c> my</c><00:10:17.779><c> beloved</c><00:10:18.120><c> son</c><00:10:18.519><c> in</c><00:10:18.779><c> whom</c><00:10:18.919><c> I'm</c><00:10:19.139><c> well</c><00:10:19.440><c> pleased.</c>

00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.840
He'd<00:10:20.659><c> certainly</c><00:10:20.899><c> heard</c><00:10:21.120><c> the</c><00:10:21.440><c> teaching</c><00:10:21.820><c> of</c><00:10:22.039><c> Jesus</c><00:10:22.440><c> and</c><00:10:22.720><c> seen</c>

00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.820
